Ann Widdecombe, Binface and Farage's Five Million
7/14/202647 min
Jemma and Marina try to make sense of another week that somehow outdid even their most chaotic bingo card. They discuss the shocking murder of Ann Widdecombe, why some reactions online were seriously misjudged, and how Nigel Farage's response was caught on camera in 3...2...1.... They also look at the latest twists in Reform UK's funding saga, Count Binface's increasingly hilarious Clacton campaign, Harry Kane's controversial golf partner, Erling Haaland's accidental status as the internet's healthiest role model, and Greg Wallace's baffling morning routine. Politics, football, bins, melons and heatwaves... just another week on The Trawl.

Speaker 20:07
Grief is a part of being human. The objects around us are tangible vessels of emotion that, when recognized, become intentional artifacts able to hold our griefs so that we can spend time honoring what we've lost and why those losses matter. I'm Elliot.
Speaker 30:24
And I'm Kylie. This is Artifacts of Grief. Every Thursday, we offer a conversation about grief and the artifacts that hold that grief, so that we might acknowledge the many losses that unmake and remake us, so that we can make meaning of these feelings together.

[gentle music] Well, we take elections seriously, so I can't back a joke candidate with ridiculous policies. So I hope Count Binface beats me.
Marina Purkiss· Host1:01
